In the lsmod "videodev" was not listed.
That seems to led to the totally weired/missleading 
error messages from i2c...

One problem is coming from the DVB/driver/Makefile

make rmmod

is capable to remove all devices

but 

make insmod

is not capable to load all devices again it killed before.
In this case videodev was not fould.


What do i have to do to make always sure that "make insmod"
will find all modules?
Should "insmod" maybe be replaced with "modprobe" ?
That's a question @driver

Where from do i know which modules should beloaded
if insmod claims "unresolved symbol i2c_sysctl_real" for example.
To go with grep and find thru the source can't 
be a serious meant solution.
What's the use of "depmod"? It seems not to work as
expected.

si:~/video# depmod -a
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.9/misc/eeprom
msi:~/video# insmod /lib/modules/2.4.9/misc/eeprom.o
/lib/modules/2.4.9/misc/eeprom.o: unresolved symbol i2c_sysctl_real

So why do i have to scan the sources to find the missing i2c-device
using "grep"?
Is there really no "map"/database where which symbols are to
be exported from and which modules are required?
(There is an operation system where  this (mean) job is due to the
developer of the device. He knows best. Why is not in linux too?)

Any help?
